Beilenson PAC Funds Took the Long Road
* Howard Cohen’s letter (July 2) is incorrect in saying that Rep. Anthony C. Beilenson (D-Woodland Hills) “declines to accept PAC money.” He accepts a great deal of it by having it routed through the Democratic state and national committees and then claims he is “pure.” Moreover, he seems to have no trouble accepting in-kind contributions and “volunteer” help from special interests with whom he happens to agree. This is just another case of a Washington politician saying one thing and doing another.
